Simple Man

I am just a simple man

whose needs are very few...

A walk along the ocean's sand

some time now and then with you.

Starry skies are my bed's canopy

Meadow grass my comforter

Soft sweet breeze the lullaby

That lays me down at night to sleep

I have no time for the city's pace

there's nothing there I seek.

Just let me find some open space

beside a clear cool creek.

Starry skies are my bed's canopy

Meadow grass my comforter

Soft sweet breeze the lullaby

That lays me down at night to sleep

I love the smell of mountain air

the scent of new-mown hay...

The quiet of a forest lair

sunrise on a brand new day.

Starry skies are my bed's canopy

Meadow grass my comforter

Soft sweet breezr the lullaby

That lays me down at night to sleep

Yes, I am just a simple man

my needs are very few...

These things around me when I can

some time now and then with you.
